Strongly nonlinear waves in a chain of Teflon beads [PDF]
One dimensional "sonic vacuum" type phononic crystals were assembled from a chain of Teflon spheres with different diameters in a Teflon holder. It was demonstrated for the first time that this polymer-based "sonic vacuum", with exceptionally low elastic

Lubricant sensitivity in function of paddle movement in the forced feeder of a high-speed tablet press [PDF]
Context: The negative impact of magnesium stearate (MgSt) on the hardness of tablets is a well-known phenomenon, but the influence of paddle movement in the forced feeder on the lubricant effect during tablet compression is often neglected.

Strongly nonlinear wave dynamics in a chain of polymer coated beads [PDF]
Strongly nonlinear phononic crystals were assembled from a chain of Parylene-C coated steel spheres in a polytetrafluoroethylene holder. This system exhibits strongly nonlinear properties and extends the range of materials supporting sonic-vacuum-type ...

Stress Wave Anisotropy in Centered Square Highly Nonlinear Granular Systems [PDF]
Highly ordered, close packed granular systems present a nonlinear dynamic behavior stemming from the Hertzian contact interaction between particles. We investigated the propagation of elastic stress waves in an uncompressed, centered square array of ...

Highly nonlinear solitary waves in chains of ellipsoidal particles [PDF]
We study the dynamic response of a one-dimensional chain of ellipsoidal particles excited by a single compressive impulse. We detail the Hertzian contact theory describing the interaction between two ellipsoidal particles under compression, and use it to
